Jesaja 14:5

Listen to Jesaja 14:5
5 De HEERE heeft den stok der goddelozen gebroken, den scepter der heersers.

Jesaja 14:5 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 14:5

The Lord hath broken the staff of the wicked
This is an answer to the above question, how the exactor and his tribute came to cease; this was not by man, but by the Lord himself; for though he made use of Cyrus, the work was his own, he broke the power of the wicked kings of Babylon: [and] the sceptre of the rulers;
that were under the king of Babylon; or of the several kings themselves, Nebuchadnezzar, Evilmerodach, and Belshazzar; so Kimchi interprets it. This may be applied to the kingdom of antichrist, and the antichristian states, which shall be broken to shivers as a potter's vessel by Christ, the King of kings, and Lord of lords, ( Revelation 2:27 ) ( Revelation 19:15 Revelation 19:16 ) . The "staff" and "sceptre" are emblems of power and government; and "breaking" them signifies the utter destruction and cessation of authority and dominion.

Jesaja 14:5 In-Context

3 En het zal geschieden ten dage, wanneer u de HEERE rust geven zal van uw smart, en van uw beroering, en van de harde dienstbaarheid, waarin men u heeft doen dienen;
4 Dan zult gij deze spreuk opnemen tegen den koning van Babel, en zeggen: Hoe houdt de drijver op? Hoe houdt de goudene op?
5 De HEERE heeft den stok der goddelozen gebroken, den scepter der heersers.
6 Die de volken plaagde in verbolgenheid met een plaag zonder ophouden, die in toorn over de heidenen heerste, die wordt vervolgd, zonder dat het iemand afweren kan.
7 De ganse aarde rust, zij is stil; zij maken groot geschal met gejuich.
